B390 DOMAINE DE CHASSORNEY (AURELIEN VERDET) SAINT ROMAIN BLANC SOUS LE CHATEAU CLOS DU CERISIER 2023 1500ml

Frédéric Cossard is based in Saint-Romain and had produced some of the finest wines in this appellation from vineyards such as Sous Roche, Combe Bazin, Sous la Velle, Sous le Château, and Bourgogne En Carran. The wine we introduce here is Sous le Château Clos du Cerisier 2023, crafted by Aurélien Verdet. Originating from a special parcel, it represents the top cuvée of Domaine de Chassorney and is produced only in a small number of magnums. The wine is striking for its viscous, highly concentrated, and weighty juice. Its acidity, bitterness, and slight astringency are all of high quality, contributing depth, structure, and nuance to the full-bodied profile. It is clearly crafted with long-term aging in mind, and it is estimated that it will require another seven to eight years from now to fully open. It is an exceptional wine—at this stage, best described as a mass of pure potential.
